I run SBS 2003 basic and you should be able to use this to have your clients
connect to the internet.

I have 7 of my clients running fine....However, I just added a new client
and I am having the same exact problem. The client can connect to the Server
(ping, intranet website etc.) but cannot connect to the internet. I can't
ping my firewall or my gateway from the new client that I added....and....I
have no idea why.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it as well. I also just purchased a
system from Dell.
